While driving my jeep when driving onto on-ramps to highways at speeds around 45-55 mph my jeep decides to throw itself into limp mode and kill power and any possibility of acceleration. When you get the vehicle back on a straight path jumps out of limp mode and drives normal. I had the trans serviced and a governor solenoid replaced and same results ironically no codes come up. What could cause such an issue simply by turning at speed? Any ideas would be very helpful.

Have a trans guy look at this it may be an electrical problem like losing ground momentarily or corrosion at connections. It also may be due to low pressure until it gets flat and gives you normal pressure.
